True un-restored and uncut 1966 Ford Bronco Roadster, U13 vin code.  Built in October, 1965.  Bought from original owner's son in 1994 in Charlotte, NC.  76,000 original miles; original engine rebuilt in 1999 but less than 1,000 miles since then.  Has been in storage since 2000, driven occasionally until 2006.  Pulled out of storage last year, taken to the mechanic for a complete check-up, new tires, and then detailed.


To the best of my knowledge, the Bronco has never been wrecked.  I've certainly never wrecked it, and I was told when I bought it that it had never even been in a fender bender.  The gas tank leaks when full.

New high-quality, custom-made seat covers (front buckets and rear bench) to match the original factory spec vinyl, including gray color (only color available on the '66 models) and texture, installed in 2000.  Not sure if the paint is original (it's not been painted since I've had it) but is in very good condition.  Small, slight bubble rust under paint in one place on front right quarter panel, near bumper (see picture).  Slight surface rust on original floor pans; slight surface rust on the original bumpers.  When I say "surface", I mean surface.

Just had all fluids changed, new tires (235/75R15 Goodyear radials), new battery, new brakes, rebuilt master cylinder, new right front brake cylinder, new front axle seals, points, rotor, exhaust gasket, manifold re-surfaced, and carb completely rebuilt.  Pull to the right when breaking hard, but I've yet to see an old Bronco that did not do this.

Less than 5,000 Roadsters were produced by Ford.  How many are still around?  And how many are still around in this condition...uncut, unmolested, and un-restored?  My guess is less than five.

Features:
  • --original number-matching 170cid straight 6 engine
  • --original 1-barrel carburetor
  • --original lock-out hubs (rebuilt 1995) on the 4-wheel drive front axle
  • --original oil bath air filter
  • --original vacuum windshield wipers
  • --original hub caps, plus 4 extra rear caps (unique to '66--not sold on pickups or any other vehicles)
  • --original straight-end bumpers (unique to '66 and '67 models)
  • --original driver side mirror (unique to early Roadsters, not an after-market one)
  • --original "pencil" dash pad, with no cracks (unique to '66 and '67 models)
  • --original eyebrow grill (only found on early production '66s)
  • --original FOMOCO washer fluid bag
  • --original 3-on-the-tree 3.03 manual transmission
  • --original long-throw 4-wheel drive transfer case control stick with round ball head (only found on early production '66s)
  • --original rubber transfer case boot (unique to '66 models)
  • --original rear bench seat, loved by my kids when they were little
  • --original black arm rests on rear bench seat (unique to '66 models)
  • --original 15-inch wheels, including the spare
  • --original rear tail light lenses (no "clear" reverse section; unique to '66 models)
  • --original FOMOCO tail hitch
  • --original fold-down windshield (hinged to fold flat on top of the hood, with a pin hitch to hold it in place)
  • --original skid plate protecting the transfer case

The successful bidder must make a $250 deposit via PayPal within 48 hours of the close of the auction.  Full payment for the vehicle must be made within three days of the close of the auction.  The vehicle will not be released until payment is received via bank transfer or other means acceptable to the owner.  Sale does not include shipping.  Buyer is responsible for all shipping arrangements and costs.

I have tried to provide an honest description of this Bronco.  I encourage anyone interested in bidding to view the Bronco in person, it is located in Acworth, GA.  If you have any questions, please let me know prior to bidding.

This Bronco is sold as-is, where-is, with no warranty implied or given.

Porsche 911 Turbo and Nissan GT-R Nismo star in World's Greatest Drag Race 4

Fri, 26 Sep 2014

We love Motor Trend's annual World's Greatest Drag Race video. Now back for its fourth appearance, the idea of lining some of the world's fastest cars up for a ten-wide, straight-line, full-throttle run is, well... it's pretty freaking badass.
The lineup this year boasts some impressively fast cars to be sure. The group of ten includes the following darlings: Alfa Romeo 4C, BMW i8, BMW M4, Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, Ford Fiesta ST, Jaguar F-Type R Coupe, Nissan GT-R Nismo, Porsche 911 Turbo S, Subaru WRX STI and, last but not least, the Volkswagen GTI. Give us any one of those for the weekend, and we're happy to take the keys.
It must be said though, that for a publication that draws as much water as Motor Trend does, there are some big cars that we might expect to be here instead. The Lamborghini Huracán or Ferrari 458 Speciale would have added some exotic flare to the list, and the omissions of the Chevy Corvette Stingray (for the second year in a row) and the Dodge Challenger Hellcat are real head-scratchers.

Ford exec reveals new F-150 Raptor packs 450 horsepower

Mon, Jan 26 2015

Between the new GT supercar, Shelby GT350R muscle car and F-150 Raptor off-roader, Ford had quite the array of performance machinery on display at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this month. One thing it didn't reveal about any of the three, however, is how much power they'd pack, but a senior executive at the Blue Oval automaker has reportedly let the cat out of the bag when it comes to the Raptor. During a televised interview during the Rolex 24 at Daytona this past weekend, Ford's product development chief Raj Nair is said to have revealed that the new F-150 Raptor will offer 450 horsepower. That's pretty impressive from a 3.5-liter turbocharged V6, and would put the new Raptor out ahead of the 411 hp produced by the 6.2-liter naturally aspirated V8 in the previous SVT Raptor. That doesn't give us the whole picture, though, because in a vehicle this big especially, torque will play a huge factor. The outgoing Raptor offered 424 pound-feet of twist, and the existing 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine is already producing 420 lb-ft – so it seems fairly safe to assume the new Raptor will eclipse those figures as well, but we'll have to wait for official word to find out for sure.
